Resetting the Swimlane Usage Metrics is available in the Swimlane Health & Maintenance Operations Application. However, having the following manual method to reset the data using a Python script is also helpful when troubleshooting.

# Using MongoDB

Connect to the MongoDB using the mongo shell or a tool like Robo3T and run the following query:

:::BlockQuote
use Swimlane;
db.UsageEntryAggregates.remove(\{})
:::

# Using Python Script

## Description

Create the following Script Inputs in your task:

:::BlockQuote
swimlane\_api\_pat
mongoServer
mongoPort
mongoUser # For the Swimlane database
mongoPass # For the Swimlane database
database = Swimlane
collection = UsageEntryAggregates
task = Reset Usage Metrics
:::

NOTE: For a standalone deployment, remove line number 16 below from the code (replicaSet='rs0',)

:::BlockQuote
from pymongo import MongoClient
from swimlane import Swimlane
import pendulum
import ssl

\#connect to Swimlane:
swimlane = Swimlane(sw\_context.config\['InternalSwimlaneUrl'], access\_token=sw\_context.inputs\['swimlane\_api\_pat'], verify\_ssl=False)

\#Connect to Mongo:
def connect\_to\_mongo(swimlane\_auth\_source):
    connectionParams = MongoClient(host=sw\_context.inputs\['mongoServer'],
                                   port=int(sw\_context.inputs\['mongoPort']),
                                   username=sw\_context.inputs\['mongoUser'],
                                   password=sw\_context.inputs\['mongoPass'],
                                   authSource=swimlane\_auth\_source,
                                   replicaSet='rs0',
                                   authMechanism='SCRAM-SHA-1',
                                   ssl=True,
                                   ssl\_cert\_reqs=ssl.CERT\_NONE)
    return connectionParams

\#Set Database & Auth to Swimlane or SwimlaneHistory from Workflow Action Set Field
swimlane\_auth\_source = swimlane\_database = sw\_context.inputs\['database']

\#Retrieve Collection from Workflow Action Set Field
collection\_name = sw\_context.inputs\['collection']

try:
    if swimlane\_auth\_source and collection\_name and sw\_context.inputs\['task'] == 'Reset Usage Metrics':
      db = connect\_to\_mongo(swimlane\_auth\_source)\[swimlane\_database]
      collection = db\[collection\_name]
      resetUsageMetrics = collection.delete\_many(\{})
      sw\_outputs = \[\{'deleted\_count': resetUsageMetrics.deleted\_count}]
except Exception as e:
  print(e)
